Looking for complete list of worldwide pubs

Question

Hi all.

It used to be possible to download a complete list of amenity (or other locations) by not specifying a border. It doesn't seem to be possible now. How/where can I get a list of all the pubs or [amenity=pub] please?

Thanks.

It is possible by using the Overpass API. An example query is:

http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/interpreter?data=[timeout:900];(node["amenity"="pub"];way["amenity"="pub"];rel["amenity"="pub"];);(._;>;);out;

(copy the link by hand, the parser broke it). But I couldn't test it successfully because I always get a 504 Gateway Time-Out. This is also a really heavy query.

An alternative is to get the planet or an extract and use osmfilter / osmconvert to generate this list.

Also keep in mind that the result will never be a complete list because OSM's data (and any other data available) will never be complete and changes continuously.

Thank you for the URL, but it needs an "out" in the end:

http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/interpreter?data=[timeout:3600];(node["amenity"="pub"];way["amenity"="pub"];rel["amenity"="pub"];);(._;>;);out;

I've also increased the timeout.

The 504 happens if too much other queries run on the server. You can then try overpass-api.de instead of the rambler instance:

http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=[timeout:3600];(node["amenity"="pub"];way["amenity"="pub"];rel["amenity"="pub"];);(._;>;);out;

Thanks for the information, I updated the query in my answer.
